much simpler, use a RULE instead a TRIGGER like my example:
Suppose, i have a table called foo, it contains now:
test=# select * from foo;
i
---
1
2
(2 rows)
I create a sequence and a RULE:
test=*# create sequence foo_counter;
CREATE SEQUENCE
test=*# create or replace rule foo_update as on update to foo do also select
nextval('foo_counter');
CREATE RULE
And now i do a update on foo:
test=*# update foo set i=2;
nextval
---------
1
(1 row)
test=*# update foo set i=3;
nextval
---------
2
(1 row)
test=*# select currval('foo_counter');
currval
---------
2
(1 row)
